I Mr. James B. Scott's Mild Warning to City Councils. POSITION OF MB. CABNEGIE. The Two-Million-Dollar Library Hay be Withdrawn. MORE TALKS "WITH COUKCILMEN The wrangle over the control of the Car negie Library, instead of abating is becom ing more beated each day. Opinions were rife yesterday around City Hall and other places frequented by Councilmen that Mr. Carnegie would withdraw his offer of about 52,000,000, owing to the antipathy of certain officials to the proposed management. Mr. James B. Scott, Chairman of the Commission, stated last evening that if Councils did not rectiiy the ordinance to suit Mr. Car negie, and would not accept the library with the string tied to it, as Mr. Magee facetiously termed the offer, Mr. Carnegie would put the money down in his pocket and say nothing. This means the same thing as withdrawing the offer of 52,000,000. Mr. Scott was seen last evening by a reporter of The Dispatch, and to the latter's ques tion, the chairman of the commission said: JIB. SCOTT DEFENDS MB. CAKNEGIB. "I just arrived home this morning from Philadelphia and have not seen the account of the controversy between Mr. Magee and Dr. Holland in regard to the library. Con sequently I cannot speak intelligently on the question at issue. As I understand it. Mr. Magee objects to the way Mr. Carnegie wants to have the library conducted. There is notning wrong about that. Mr. Magee has his opinions the same as any other man, and why shouldn't he? I think, however, that Mr. Carnegie has the right idea, and the commission has the assurance of several members of Council that the latter body will change the ordinance governing the library to conform with Mr. Carnegie's views." . . "Do von think Mr. Carnegie will with draw his offer unless the library is conducted according to his views?" "Mr. Carnegie cannot withdrawals offer. If Councils do not change the ordinance to suit Mr. Carnegie, and thereby refuse to ac cept or act on the offer, Mr. Carnegie will probably put tne s-,uui,uuu uown iu ma clothes, and he will be so much the richer. I cannot speak one word for Mr. Carnegie, and do not know what he will do if Councils do not make the change. rropi-E should if ot tvorey. "I do not see why anybody should worry or talk about the matter until Council's sbow what they intend to do. The only dif ference between certain members of Council and Mr. Carnegie is about filling the va cancies on the commission. Mr. Carnegie nominated 12 citizens in addition to the 9 city officers. One of the conditions con nected with the offer is that the 12 citizens on the commission outside of tbe 9 city officials, should have the power, as a body, to fill vacancies in the body of twelve. Mr. Carnegie said the 'people, as represented in the body of twelve, had no power to fill any vacancr in the body of nine, and the body of nine had no power to fill any vacancy in the body of twelve, although Mr. Magee apparently wants it the other way. In the ordinance presented certain Councilmen wanted a majority vote of the members of the com mission to fill all vacancies, to which Mr. Carnegie objected. In a letter the latter stated that he wanted tbe twelve citizens to fill the vacancies in their own ranks, and asked that the ordinance be changed. MUST DELIVEE THE GOODS. "Xow, Messrs. Lambie, Carnahan and Heating and others promised us that they would have tbe ordinance changed to suit Mr. Carnegie's wishes. "We have no right to assume that Councils will not do this. The gentlemen I have mentioned promised it would be done If they cannot do as thev promised, why all well and good. I will assume that they will do it. Tbey will obliterate the differences and vote tor the amended ordinance. "As Mr. Carnegie is putting his money into this building, I do not see why he should not have a little to say about who shall conduct tbe library. In the Pratt Li brary, in Baltimore, the founder nominated all the officers. In the public library of Bos ton there is not one city official. There is a law there that prohibits Councilmen from occupying a place on the commission. By giving it into the hands of a commission of private citizens the library isassurcd of a cer tain permanency to the personnel of the hody of men who will conduct its affairs. "It will be a mistake if Councils do not accept the gift. There is not one gentleman on the commission of 12 framed by Mr. Car negie, who is not interested in the pros perity of the city as much as any Council man. I do not think they would want to turn tbe building upside down and destroy it. Consequently they would oe able to conduct its management." MAT DEFEAT THE AMENDMENT. A canvass of Select Council yesterday shows a disposition to defeat the proposed amendment. John S. Lambie, tbe author of the amendment, did not appear to be very hopelul of the success of his measure, and was rather disinclined to speak of the sub ject at all. B. B. Carnahan, when asked what he thought of tbe possibility of the amendment being defeated, said: "I want to say noth ing, but let those who oppose a benefit to the city take the consequences." Mark Donley was met on a Birmingham street car, and in reply to the question whether he would vote for the amendment or not. replied: "No, I shall not be a party to the city paying 540,000 per annum for keeping a monument in order. Beside, tbe city would find that she could not get off with ?40,000 when repairs, salaries, insur ance and purchases for branch libraries are taken into consideration. lam opposed to litnding over the powers vested in Councils to outsiders not chosen by the people, but by Mr. Carnegie, and will certainly vote against it." Andrew C. Bobertson, when approached, looked wise and declined to commit himself, saying he would show how he will vote when Councils meet He had not as yet settled how he would vote. Samuel D. AVarmcastle, one of the most conservative members of Select Councils, said that the moment distrust was enter tained of the representatives of the people, it is a direct blow at tbe institutions which are based on popular will. He thought that a body of men which conld appropriate and devote something like $720,000 for edu cational purposes, as Pittsburg bad this year, could certainly handle even snch a large interest as Mr. Carnegie's million dollar gift with full justice to the subject. AS SILEXT AS USUAL, But Senator Qnny Thinks All Kickers Are Not Republicans. Senator Quay, in his usual health and spirits, boarded the last line eastward bound yesterday morning, accompanied by his son Richard. Father and son had come up from Beaver on an early train. With his usual reticence in tensified, if possible tbe Senator was a poor subject for tan interview. It is known that he will return to attend the Americas Club Grant banquet upon tbe 26th of tbe present month, at which tbe most formidable array of noted men who ever sat down to a political and epicurean feast will be present. When asked concerning the open letter of Henry Charles Lea to the President, the silent man from Beaver unloosed his tongue enough to remark that there were kickers in other par ties than the Republican. Two CouDCllrarn Resign nnd Cancas Nomi nee Receive Corfirmatlon. The Select branch of Allegheny Councils met last night and was called to order by Presi dent Lindsey, who read the resignation of Mr. E. S. Hartmnn, of the First ward. Mr. Hart man has removed his family and business to Cleveland, O., and, not being a resident of the city, resigns. The resignation was accepted, and a resolution passed requesting the Major to Issue a proclamation for a new election. The branch then went into joint session with Common Council to elect city officers. After tbe joint session the Select Branch concurred with Common Counril in the appointment of a committee to consider tbe annexation of part oT Reserve township to be tbe Fourteenth ward of Allegheny. Mr. Hendricks offered a resolution for the appointment of a special committee of seven to divide tbe wards of Allegheny. In Common Council Mr. Neeb offered a reso lution prohibiting the ringing of engine bells in tbe city. Mr. Knox offered a resolution grant ing tbe United States Government the wharf for the anproaches of tbe Kerr's Island dam. Mr. Detzel presented a petition signed by a number of residents of Reserve township, asking for the annexation of a part of tbe township to tbe city as the Fourteenth ward. Upon motion the matter was referred to a special committee composed of three Common and two Select Councilmen. James A. Bell resigaed as Common Councilman of tbe Second ward. Mayor Wyman was instrncted to issue a proclamation for the election of a snecessor to Mr. Bell who may become captain of tbe night police watch. Both Counrils met in joint session and con firmed the officials chosen at the caucus on Monday night. HE WILL NOT SEKYE. Sir. T. C Jenkins Declines to be One of Old Trinity's Vestrymen. Tbe relusal of Mr. T. C. Jenkins to serve as a vestryman of Trinity Church is a novel and al most unprecedented point in canonical matters. Mr. Jenkins was seen and asked for bis explan ation of tbe matter. He said: "As I stated to a Dispatch representative on Easter -Monday. I had sent notice to the vestry that I desired my name withdrawn from what was printed in Monday's paper as purporting to be the 'regu lar ticket.' No attention seems to have been paid to my note, nor do I know whether it was received. Subsequently 1 saw Mr. H. I. Mason, secretary of tbe vestry, and told him I would not serve. After the action of tbe vestry in their treatment of Mr. Maxwell, and their piacing a debt of $3,000 upon the parish in order to secure a termination of his connection with tbe church, I felt that I conld not consistently remain." Opinions vary as to tbe vacancy cansed by Mr. Jenkins' retirement. Some maintain that a new election will be necessarv, and others think the vacancy can remain unfilled. There is no case on record in church annals in which a cbnrcb member has been unwillingly elected and forthwith resigns. WILL HATE A NEW DEPOT. The Measure of Cbnrlero! to bo Taken for a Proper Waiting Room. General Manager Pugh, of the Pennsylvania Railroad lines, will visit tbe Pittsburg, Vir ginia and Charleston very shortly, and tako the measure of Cbarleroi for a new depot, to be tbe handsomest on the line. Manager M. J. Alex ander presented the needs of the town so urgently that tbe officials promised to act Im mediately. The present station, "McKean," is a third of a mile from the center of Charleroi. and the hundreds of persons who alight from and board the cars object seriously to clamber ing over tiesand flat cars to reach tbe trains. Traffic, both of freight and passengers, has reached wonderful dimensions. Several hundred workmen use tbe trains to Belle vernon and Monongebela City, and no station on the road dots a livelier business. AN EVENING OP SONG. A Pleasing Concert Given at the Stewart C. P. Cbnrcb. Avery successful concert was given last night in the United Presbyterian Church, of Stewart station, by a chorus under tbe direc tion of Mrs. Adah S. Thomas, of Pittsburg. The programme consisted of solos, quartets and choruses, some of the most pleasing being 'O, Hush Tbee, My Bab" and "Dickery Dickery Dock." Among tbe soloists were Mrs. C N. Shaw. Mrs. Miller. Miss Blanche Frazier, Miss Nelia Shaw. Mr. John Stewart, Mr. John Shaw anil Mr. Gill, all of whom were home talent, with the exception of Miss Blanche Frazier, of Allegheny. Will Bnild n. Fine Church. There is $31,000 pledged by the members of the Arch Street Presbyterian Church toward a handsome new edifice to cMt overSlOO.000. and to take the place of the ancient house of worship now filled to overflowing every Sunday. The trustees of tbe church were authorized at their last meeting to take charge of the funds and secure plans for a proper scope. Cbarsed Wllh Cruelly nnd Neglect. John Hapwood, who lives in the rear of No. 2929 Penn avenue, was arrested yesterday by Constable Kramer, or Alderman Warner's office, on a charge of cruelty and neglect toward his wife and children, made by Superintendent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society. Mr. Dean alleges that Hapnood neglects his family to such an extent that they are suffering. He will have a hearing to-morrow. Berger Comes Back. Christopher Berger made an information be fore Alderman Warner last night charging Samuel Watts with perjury. The suit is the outcome of a suit brought by tatts against Berger a few days since before the same Alder man to recover $23 50 from Berger for wages. Watts being emploved as a carnage painter at Berger's works on Fiftieth street. Found Dead in the River. The body ot an unknown man, aged about 45 years, was fonnd in the Monongabela river at the City Farm station yesterday. Tbe body was snpoosed to have been in the water three weeks. The deceased was about six feet tall, black balr. bald in front and wore chin whis kers. He was dressed in a black coat and vest and jean pants. A Salt for n Damaged Hat. James Frey will have a hearing to-day before Alderman Warner on a charge of malicious mischief, preferred by Martin Reeder. Both men are employed at the Black Diamond Steel Works, and the offense charged against Frey Is that he threw Reeder's hat into a fly wheel pit. I.lltlo Travel to the West. F. G. Speer. local agent for the Central Pa cific lines in Pittsburg, in speaking of railroad traffic last night, said it was not as good as had been expected for this year, and that an un usually small number of people were going West. This, he said, was especially true of California passengers. WHAT FE0PLE ARE DOING. Some Who Travel, Some Who Do Nor, and Others Who Talk. Tilly Haines, one of the oldest hotel proprietors in America and the owner of tbe United States Hotel, Boston, was the leader in a jolly party of people from the Hub who wero just returning from a trip to California. The otber members of theparty were Judge Kemp man. Dr. Davis and H. A. Carson. They spent yesterday at the Anderson and left for Boston last night. G. E. Palmer, of Chicago; George A. Powell, of NewYoik; J.Corcoran, of Will iamsport and John M. Cook, of Stenbenville, 0 were at tbe Dnqnesne yesterday. The gen tlemen are all lawyers. They were in close consultation all day, but, with lawyer-like silence, they refused to cive np any of their secrets to the newspapers. Bev. Dr. Beale, whose graphic history of the Johnstown flood has found its way into many libraries, was in the city yesterday. He says tbe complete story of tbe awful catastro phe will never be told. Day after day new tales of heroism and suffering reach him, and volumes wonld not bold the sad details. Albert Ferguson, one ol the petroleum princes of Beaver county, has purchased the residence of Councilman A. W. McDonald, of Coraopolis, for?I0,00U. As Mr. McDonald has another residence in the borongb, it is sup posed that he will still remain in the village, James McCuIlough and George Fox, of Kittannlng, were in Pittsburg yesterday and returned to their homes last night. They have water works in Indiana, Kittannlng. Meadville and Washington. Their visit to the city was in the interest of their business. Colonel J. B. Findlay, a Kittanning, Pa millionaire, returned yesterday from a trip to Europe He was only there 17 days, and his visit was for pleasure only. He left the city yesterday afternoon for Kittanning. Prof. J. C. Gilchrist, of Algonia, Iowa, occupied a room at tbe Seventh Avenue last night. He is an advocate of Christian science, and will go to Monongabela City this morning to make some converts. iwiri iittfrt ni i'atrflfiirr-if r at HAS TO BE DOUBLED, The Plate Glass Plant at Ford City to be Greatly Increased, AT A COST OF AT LEAST 91,750;000. American Flate Glass Manufacturers a lear Behind Orders. A MOVE FOE A PROHIBITORY TARIFF The Ford City Plate Glass Company, now the largest in J.he world, evidently believes in maintaining its supremacy, both in this country and in the Old World, by the policy of outrivaling all rivals. The expenditure of $1,750,000, in duplicating its present im mense plant, is expected to cast in the shade the younger plate glass cities, Charleroi and Streator, 711. la the latter place will be lo cated the plate glass manufactory at the head cf which is Colonel A. L. Conger, of Akron, 0 late Republican Chairman of the Buckeye State. The announcement that Ford City will double its plant creates some surprise, in view of the recent expressions by plate glass experts in regard to the possibility of over production ot the commodity. The project ing of Charleroi seems to hare called lcrlh plans ol a similar character. PERFECT IS ALL PAETICULAES. Ford City has paid handsome profits, and has undergone constant improvement in the matter of minor details, until it is now credited with being perfect in every particular. Tbe expetience devoted to improving the present plant will be of use in tbe construction .of tbe new factory. It is learned that tbe decision to donble the concern was arrived at upward of two weeks since. Plans are now nearly ready for the huge buildines, and work is to begin within a fortnight. The ground to be occupied adjoins the present buildings, and the same advantages of fuel, sand, etc., that played so important a part in tbe determination of the original loca tion, are expected to be brought into use iu the expansion. It is hoped to get the annex into operation by the first of May. 1891. The company's representatives in Pittsburg retnse to make any comments npon the matter. A representative of the Cbarleroi Plate ulass Company was seen, and conversed freely as to the outlook. "The increase in the Ford City plant has been known to us for some time," said he. "and the only effect it has had upon the Charleroi Company has been to canse our force of men to be doubled all around. Our original plans to have nine buildings, covering tbe largest plate glass factory in the world, will be adhered to without change. A STEONG ABGtralENT. "The fact that Ford City Is to double its plant is the strongest argument possible in favor of Charleroi as an investment. The Arrerican market is growing with such phenomenal rapidity that existing factories are nearly a year behind orders, and the chances are in lavnr of a constantly growing demand. "Should the American plate glass interests do wbat is now actively canvassed as an im mediate necessity, American plate glass will be atastillhigber premium. I understand, that the Ways and Means Committee of Congress is to be urged to place the tariff on plate glass at an almost prohibitory figure. The French and Belgian glassmen are cutting prices continual ly, with a view to retaining their share of tbe American market, bnt tbe excellent quality and skilltul handling of the American product have had the eff ect of avoiding a cut-rate war, and yet gradually shading the foreign article, "As Drexel. Mirean & Co.. Dr. Bullit and ex- Congressman Crouse, the principal backers of Cbarleroi, have unlimited means, there is no daunt abont Charleroi beinir readv to make glass by next October. It is guaranteed by Mr. superintendent, that Charleroi will be In run ning order before any otber competitor can divert tbe trade to a new source. Tnere is only one large firm in tbe conntry manufacturing machinery for plate glass manufacturing the St. Douis house now at work on tbe $330,000 contract let to tbcm by Mr. Hartupee for Cbarleroi and any other manufactory will have to wait until our contract is completed." GOING INTO A FOOT.. It it stated that Colonel Conger's company has concluded a pooling arrangement' with the Belgian syndicate which offered Charleroi such favorable terms when the latter company was in process of formation. Tbe Belgians wanted to virtually transplant tbelr factories and men to Charleroi. Dr. Chandler, of Charleroi,' states that the number of skilled workmen necessary in a plant, even of large proportions, is surprisingly small, owing to tne amount of automatic machinery which can be made use of in polishing the product, American workmen, he holds, can by reason of their superior intelligence be easily inducted into tbe necessary knowledge, Tbe tinting and melting and the composition of the mate rials are secret processes which are only known to a few, and the services of that class of men are in great demand. But it is expected that there will bo heavy premiums upon tbe de partment bosses, and tbe longest purses will go tbe furthest, so far as employes are concerned. A LAWRENCETILLE ELOPEMENT. An Ex-Grlpman Runs Awnj With an Elgblcen-Year-OId Girl. Lawrenceville comes to the front with another elopement. This time it was an ex gripman of the Citizsns' Tractio n Company who took a grip on an 18-year-old nlonde and a Lake Erie train and hied himself to Youngs town, where the knot was tied. The young bride is now domiciled in Oakland, and the groom is attending to his duties at tbe Penn avenue power house. On Thursday last John A. Harrison, who is at present engajyd as a "power bouse man," and Miss Nellie Pricer, of Thirty-sixth and Butler street, suddenly disappeared. The girl is a daughter of John Pricer. a former employe of Carnegie, Pbipps & Co.'s mill, and who died about nine months ago. She lived with her widowed mother at the corner of Thirty-sixth and Bntler streets. She is but IS years of age, a light blonde and is quite prepossessing in ap pearance. Tho groom is 21 years of age, and came from Philadelphia to instruct the green hands, when tbe Penn avenue line began running their cable cars. The couple left the city unobserved, and upon arriving at Youngs town were married by a minister who was on the lookout for them. They returned home on Monday, and have settled down ina-tieat little home in Oakland. A peculiar circumstance about tbe marriage is that both of them are Catholics and were married in Holy week, which is contrary to the rules of the church. PLOWED 2HR0UGH THE BODIES. A Farmer Discovers a Trench Fnll of Fallen Heroes. R. H. Smith, tbe well-known patentee ot gas apparatus, retuncd yesterday from a Southern trip, where he formed a company to Introduce his patent. While riding along the Shenan doah Valley Railroad, about 0 miles east of Waynesboro, the train stopped. Mr. Smith and a number ot passengers got off the train to view the country. They came across a farmer plowing in a field. The man suddenly stopped in his n ork. MraSmith observed tbe farmer's sndden halt. He bad run into an old burial trench filled with the remains of Federal and Confederate soldiers who had fallen m the sanguinary days of 1861-05. The travelers, with that morbid taste characteristic of tbe American, secured several belt plates, brass buttons, eta. as relics. Tbii little incident occurred within sight or Three Top Mountain, a place made famous, not only by many a sharp encounter between tbe Unionist and Confederate forces, but by the prominont part it is given in Bronson Howard's drama "Shenandoah," played here this season. PERSONAL PROPERTY To be More Heavily Taxed, nnd the Road Question Will Not Down. Tbe memorial committee of County Commis sioners completed its labors yesterday, and the members left for their homes. They decided to recommend tbat the Tax Commission make an effort to have tax laws revised so as to lessen tbe burden on land holders and put more of it on personal property. It was also deoided to commend the abom inable condition of the country roads to the prayerful consideration of tbe commission. The next meetlne of County Commissioners will be held in Williamsport, on call. An Adopted Child Returned. T. W. Oale, tbe new Mayor's messenger, and his wife, last August adopted a little colored girl who was a waif of the police station, named Lottie Lang. Yesterday they returned her as incorrigible. Although she Is onlyabontl2 years of age. tbey find it impossible to manage her, and gave her up to tbe charge of Inspector McAleese, with tears and very great regret.

Prices Not to be Advanced Any Farther Till. Year. L. Hammond, the veteran lumberman of Corry. was at tbe Seventh Avenpe Hotel last night. Years ago he .went into the wilds of Forest county and bought up timber lands which have since mado him a rich man and one of the largest lumber manufacturers in -the State. He has landings at Corry, Titusville and a number of other points in that section. On matters pertaining to the lumber business his word is regarded as standard authority. In speaking of the trade last night he said: "The open winter has prevented us from get ting our logs into the streams, but then on tne otber hand it has increased the price of lum ber everywhere. It has gone up SI SO per thousand on all grades of timber, but it will not go any higher. Tbe logs are scarce because of tbe lack of snow, and the only people who did get any logs in position to cut are the big concerns which have tramways and engines for handling logs. The only reason that the prices will not advance any higher is because the tim ber from Wet Virginia is being bandied too cheanly for Western Pennsylvania operators to compete with it. The yellow pine and tbe poplar from West Virginia are begin ning to dominate prices in the lumber mar ket. In fact, inside of two years, with the rail road facilities which are being given to that State, its lumber will entirely control the mar ket. Timber lands tbcro are better invest ments than timber lands in Pennsylvania were SO years ago. The timber in Pennsylvania is al most used up and West Virginia will soon be tbe exclusive base of supplies. It would be a good place to put money and in fact timber land anywhere is the best kind of an investment at present" WILL HOVE IN NEXT FALL. ThoKewPostofQce Not So Far In tho Fntnre, After All. The White Construction Company of Chi cago yesterday commenced the work of arching the Government building under an agreement to finish the first and second floors In three weeks. Tbe plastering, tiling and wood-material contracts are being prepared by tbe de partment at Wasbington.and will be let in a few days. The plum Ding and electric wiring of tbe first two floors are to be put in progress imme diately. It is now assured that the postofflco will be able to move in by the middle of September. Inspector Patterson is hustling the laying of stone, and has now the four corner towers well on toward completion. The front clocktower will be taken up last of all, and the whole of tbe stonelayiug will be completed iu five weeks SOME CONTRACTS SECURED. Lending Pittsburg Manufactories to be Represented la Sonih America. E. C. Acevedo, of Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, left last night for Titusville, where he expects to make a contract with the Oil Creek Penning company to sell its production in his South American honse. As was stated in The Dispatch, a few days ago, Mr. Acevedo represents the commission house of F. G. Flerra, of New York, which expects to handle American products in South America. He said he bad made contracts with tbe Peerless Glass Company, Thomas Evans & Co. and the O'Hara Glass Company to handle their various specialties. He eaid be bad six other contracts almost completed, but he could not afford to wait in Pittsburg any longer. Mr. Acevedo expected to go to Philadelphia to-morrow, and he will return to the Argentine Bepublic the last of the month. CATHEDRAL TOWERS ARE SAFE. Bishop Pbelnn Investigated nnd Fonnd Them All Right. Right Rev. Bishop Phelan was seen yester day with reference to the report to the effect that tbe spire of St. Peter's Pro-Cathedal, Allegheny, was unsafe, and that on Monday last a portion of it fell into the street. The Bishop emphatically denied the story. "Seeing tbe paragraph," he said, "I instiuted an Investigation and found there was not a word of truth In it. No part of tbe spire fell, and tbe insinuation that it is out of plumb is incorrect. About two mouths ago the stone cap on one of the cornices of tho tower, measur ing a few inches in diameter, did actually fall, and another scare was raised. I had tbe tower looked too, and tbe other caps, as well as the rest of tbe structure were found to be per fectly sound." IT'S ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY. The Parish of St. Vincent Will Celebrato on tho Mxteontb. t . On the 16th inst. the parish of St. Vincent's, near Latrobe, which Is under the direction of the Benedictine monks of St, Vincent's Monas tery, will hold its centennial celebration. A hundred years ago, on the 16th of April, 1790, a certain Father Browers purchased the site of St. Vincent's Monastery, then owned by a private gentleman, and known as "Sports man's Hall." Father 'Browers built a log cbapel and established the parish. During the episcopate of Bishop O'Connor the Benedict ines wero put in possession of the property and parish. The celebration will be for tbe most part of a religious nature, and it is probable that Bishop Pbelan will attend and celebrate pontifical mass. RESIGNED FROM OFFICE. Dr. Ayres Retires From Charge of tho Poor Farm Insnne. Dr. Ayres, who for several years has been in charge of the insane department at tbe City Farm, has resigned. Tne resignation was ac cepted on March SI. Some rumors were cur rent yesterday that tho resignation was dne to an economical streak on the part of Chief Elliot, of tho Department of Charities. Chief Elliot said the resignation was due to tbe increase of the doctor's professional calls, which prevent his attending to the Poor Farm duties. He and the doctor had always been and are still friendly. The Hnnd U Out of Debt. S. F. Sanker, Secretary of the Loretto Cornet Band, has sent the following commnnication to The Dispatch; "We heard there was a man going through yonr city collecting money for tbe Loretto Cornet Band. It such is the case let tbe people beware of him, and givo him no money, for he Is an impostor. Tbe band is out of debt, an we do not authorize anyone to col lect money for us." ' LOCAL ITEMS.

Joseph Koroskt. a Polish employe of the Pennsylvania Company, was brutally hit with an iron bar over tho skull, in the Twenty-eighth street roundhouse yesterday, by ayoung fellow workman. His case is very serious. The at tack was caused by national jealousy, and the cowardly assailant has fled. Carrie Franklin was fined $10 and costs by Alderman Werner last night on an informa tion made against her by M. J. Dean, Superin tendent of tbo Anti-Cruelty Society, for cruelty to an adopted child. THE City Hall bell did not strike l-S-4-5 yes terday, the forty-fith anniversary of the great fire of Pittsburg, as was customary. The prac tice was discontinued last year.

Four Hundred Bottle House Boys Unite in Demanding More Pay. THREE STRIKERS ARE ARRESTED. What Master Workman Eoss .Knows Abont the Musical Union. DISASTROUS CORK FACTORY STRIKE Yesterday morning the strike of the boys at Hamilton & Co.'s Twentieth street bottle house extended to the flint bottle works of J. T. & A. Hamilton,' at Sixteenth street, to Wm. McCully & Co.'s bottle houses at Sixteenth and Twentieth streets and to their flint house at Twenty-eighth street. By noon the boys in all of the'bottle houses in the city were out. About 1,000 men and boys are idle in consequence of the strike, and as the boys insist on remaining out until they get the advance asked for, the matter assumes a very serious aspect. The cause of the strike is a demand on the part of Hamilton & Co.'s boys for an ad vance of 50 cents per week, although they have not made a formal demand. Hamil ton & Co.'s boys went out on "Wednesday. In the afternoon they made an unsuccessful attempt to get the boysout at Twentieth and Twenty-eighth streets. Wednesday night a large crowd of the boys, probably 300 or 400 of them, congregated on Twentieth street, and discussed the situation. SOME OF THEM WEAKENED. The crowd included a large number of the boys employed at all of the houses, and the Hamilton boys succeeded in persuading tbe boys employed at tbe otber houses to promise to go out yesterday morning. The McCully boys, however, weakened yesterday morning and went to work. The strikers heard of this, and formed in a line on Twentieth street and marched up to Twenty-eighth street, where they induced tbo boys there to join their ranks. When tbe boys went out, tbe men employed in all of the establishments bad no alternative but to quit, not because tbey were in sympathy with tbe strikers, but because they could not continue the work with out tbe assistance of the boys. The boys in Hamilton & Co.'s works seem to bare made ar rangements for the strike in a quiet manner, as the blowers sav they bad no intimation of tbe affair until tbe boys quit work. When the boys went out at McCully's works, some of tbe boys refused to quit work, and the strikers turned in to stone them. J. M. Living stone, one of the managers, made an informa tion against the lads and tbey were arrested last night and locked up in the Central station. Their names are Jobn Qulnn, John Teste and Joseph Knofsky. Police officers are stationed at all of them to prevent any possible disturbance that might arise. A member of the firm of Hamilton & Co. said yesterday afternoon that they bad not received any formal demand from tbe boys, and tbe firm i3 waiting patiently expecting the boys to return to work. ANOTHEB VIETV OP IT. A representative of J. T. & A. Hamilton said he tbongbt tbe boys only wanted a rest, and they adopted the strike as a means of se curing it This statement recalls a similar strike about two years ago. when all tbe boys In that end of tbe town went nut to attend a 10 cent circus, which was then located in Law renceville. Mr. McCully could not be seen, but a gentleman In his Wood-street office said tbey did not anticipate any serious trouble. Tbe firm, as are all the others, is at a great loss, as the furnaces bad to be closed down. The statement that tbe men relused to go to work without the boys Is misleading and re flects on tbe men who are members of tbe flint Workers Association. As stated before, when the strike occurred, the men were com pelled to quit. All of the firms had large orders on hand and the strike affects them seriously in this respect. It was reported last evening, that an effort would be made to fill the strikers' places with new boys, but tbe firms deny that they have any such intentions. ANOTHER JUVENILES' STRIKE. Cork Factory Boys Lose Tbelr Jobs Through n Demand for Marc Wngcs. About 7a boys, ranging from 13 to 15 years of age, and employed in Armstrong Bros. &. Co.'s cork factory, at Twenty-fourth street, wentout on a strike yesterday afternoon for an advance of 50 cents per week. It is thought that tbe difficulty is the result cf tbe glass strike in that end of tho city. Yesterday morning a lot of the boys quit work and started out of the shop. They were iutercepted by Mr. Brotbers, who is Master Workman of the K. of L. assembly, to which the men in the factory belong. Mr. Brothers explained to the boys that tbey were making a mistake and advised tbem to go back. The buys returned for the time being, but in the afternoon all the boys in the shop went out. One of the men employed as a puncher said the boys really did not know what they wanted until they got outside. They held a caucus then and discovered that they were in need ot more wages. As soun as the firm was notified, tho boys were told tbeir services were no longer re quired, and advertisements were seut to the papers for 125 boys to nil tho places of the strikers. The boys wbo went out were em- Eloyed as wood carriers, sweepers and steam ox tenders. The work requires no skill, and tbe boys were paid J.I, SI and $5 per week, ac cording to age and ability. A member of the firm said last night that they expected to start up again on Monday with an entirely new force of boys. THE OPERATORS ARE FIRM. They Say They Will Not Pay a Greater Differential Tbnn Now Exists. Tbe coal operators met yesterday in the Chamber ot Commerce, and elected F. L. Rob bins and Alex Dempster as delegates to tbe Columbus conference. Messrs, J. Morton Hall, Sanford, Andrews and Patterson were chosen as alternates. A resolution to the effect that tho Pittsburg operators "cannot and will not pav a greater differential than previously exist ed" in the base scale of mining for competing districts" was adopted. That means that tho present base scale must be maintained, although tho operators may agree to a proportionate advance with all the otber districts. The delegates will go to the conference uninstrncted in regard to tbe de mand for 90 cents per ton. It is thought, how ever, that nearly all of the operators will be' at tbe conference, and in view of this rates aro be ing arranged for by J..M. Hall. On tbe other hand, nearly all tho pits have chosen delegates, nearly every one of whom is instructed to stand for the Columbus scale. THE SCALE 18 COMPLETED. Glass Workers' Scalo Will Remain Flint About the Snmn nn Last Yonr. The conference between the committee of the A. F. G. W. U. and the -flint glass manu facturers closed yesterday by tho scalo being completed and signed. The engraving list, which had been commenced at Wednesday's meeting, was finished, and the Iron mold list was taken up and agreed upon. Some changes in classification were made. There were also several additions mado to the list. The scale may be said to be practically the same as last year. Shippers Arc Bcncfilcd. Tbe reclassification of iron and steel articles decided npon at the Chicago meeting of the' Central Traffic Association this week, is a mat ter of great benefit to manufacturers in Pitts burg. Shippers can save thousands of dollars annually. The new rates will go into effect April 17. Ralls for New Mexico. The Allegheny Bessemer Steel Company closed a contract yesterday for 5,000 tons of rails to be delivered at Deming, New Mexico, for a new road in that section ot the country. A contract for an additional 5,000 tons remains unclosed. Mr. IHcGnvr Draws Out. Mr. Homer L. McGaw has disposed of bis interest in the National Glass Budget, and re tires from tho company this week. A pressure of other business is assigned as the reason for Mr. McGaw's action. Big Business for a Month. The sales of engines by tbe Westinghouse Machine Company for the month of March amounted to a total of 91 engines, with an aggregate horse power of 4,205. Closed for Repairs. The puddling department of Oliver Bros. fc Phillips South Fifteenth street mill has been closed down for repairs. The work will con sume a week's time. MR. ROSS TO MR. RUHE. What the District AInster Workman Knows About tho Musical Union. Master Workman Ross, of D. A. 3, IC. of L., in the current issue of the Trades Journal, pours some hot shot Into tbe Musical Union. He refers to the matter as a threatened boycott upon the National League clnb because they "saw fit to hire professional musicians who are legally organized and working under a charter of tbe IC of L., in preference to mechanics and mill men wbo belong to two or three untons.and want' to work at two or three occupations." He gives the inside history of the trouble be tween the Musical Union and the K. of L. which resulted in favor of the latter when tbe professional musicians organized L. A 15.S3.and concludes as follows: "Those who belonged to the Great Western Band, who had been sus pended and expelled could not gain admission to tbe local assembly without first squaring themselves with the M. M. P. U. Every effort was made consistent with manhood to obtain from the M. M. P. V. tbe amount due their or ganization by these men who had been sus pended or expelled. A list of tbeir names were submitted and tbey were asked to give tbe amount of fines and dues against them so that they could pay and honorably withdraw. No attention was paid to this list, and after waiting for several weeks the men were pro posed and initiated members of L. A. 15S1 If the M. M. P. U. object to these men because they were expelled, and refuse to recognize them now as union men, we challenge them to compare records and we will show that they have men in their ranks wbo were expelled who never attempted to square themselves with their organization before joining theM.M. P. U. This statement is made for the benefit of those who aro not acquainted with all the facts iu the case referred to." LARGEST IN THE COUNTRY. Rlter & Conler Bulldinc n Converter to Surpass All Others. Riter & Conley, tbo boiler manufacturers of this city, are making great strides now in the mannfacturicg line. They have just closed contracts for no less than eight iron buildings, having a total length of 1,350 feet, and an aver age width of Gl feet. They are mainly In blast furnace equipments. All are of iron frame with sides of corrugated. The same firm is now engaged in building two of tbe largest converters ever built in this coun try. They are being built In their own works here, and when completed will be shipped to Sparrow Point. Md., for the Pennsylvania Steel Company. They are also building for them selves the most complete hydraulic fianeing plant In America. The Morgan Engineering Company aro building for them a hydraulic flanging machine and a side flanging machine, both equal to tbe best in European works. This last will flange a plate 11 feet in diameter and li inches thick. PRESIDENT RAE'S ANSWER. He Replies Forcibly to tbe Open Challenge of the Operators. President Rae, of tbe United Miners, is out in a letter on the circular of the operators issued on the 5th inst. He says the manifest design is to divert attention from the real ques tion at issue, viz: "What would be a fair price for mining for the coming year?" Ho regards the questions of screens, weight and methods of payment as merely incidentals. He brings in tbe questions of "right, a possible livelihood, sad hearts, crushed hopes and miserable homes," and asserts that everyone engaged in the business is under obligation to put it in such shape that those who work will make enough to live comfortably. In regard to screens, he says the only solu tion of the problem is to weigh the coal before screening. THE CAMERON MINE FIRE. It Is Beyond Control, nnd the Loss Will be S100.000. Word was received yesterday to the effect that the fire in the Cameron colliery, near Sbamokin, is absolutely beyond control. Tbe entire mine, comprising more than 250 miles of galleries, is burning and the only possible way to extinguish tbe fire will be to flood the mines. Three creeks are to be turned into the mine and it is thought tbe work will consume at least 60 days and possibly considerably longer. The loss is estimated at 8100,000, and it will take a year to repair the damage. A NEW GLASS :C0MPANY. Sixty Thousand Dollars to be Pat'Iato tbe Defunct Wliltla Plant.

THE GIFT ACCEPTED. Managers of the Blind Institute Act on Mr?. Schenley's Donation. A HANDSOME B0ILDING TO GO DP. It Will be Located Along the Main En trance Into Mount Airy. THE ASILDir TO BE OPEN IN THE FALL A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Western Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind was held yesterday in the parlors of the T. M. C. A. building. The object was to take action in regard to the gilt of a site for the institute by Mrs. Schenley. The location of the ground has never been definitely known, and the terms of the gjlt were also unknown to tbe directors of the institute. Mr. A. M. Marshall, President of the board, stated that Mrs. Schenley had, through Mr. Torrence, her Pittsburg agent, decided to give them a tract of land in Oak land fronting on Forbesstreet,and extending from St. Pierre street to Bellefield avenue, a distance of 660 feet and running back from Forbes streetto the bluff, overlooking Jon caire street. The conditions are that the land will be devoted to the education of the blind, and there is no other hindrance in the way of stipulations. alongside the pake. The property is right along the main en trance ot Schenley Park. It covers an area of 10 acres and 78 perches. At present part of it is occupied by tho remains of an old brick yard and tho remnants of a promising toboggan slide, which will be glad enough to vacate the premises. The gift was discussed at great length. It was decided to accept it ana thank Mrs. Schen ley. Attorney Carnahan. acting for airs. Schenley, said he had been instructed to pre pare the deeds for the oroperty, and send them to England for Mrs. Schenley's signature. It was also decided to begin work at once npon tbe building. The plans for the latter are now being prepared, and it is expected tbat tbo institution will be open for tbe inspection of the public in October at the latest. . A committee was appointed to visit tho dif ferent blind institntes throughout the country and gather any points that may be used to ad vantage in the Pittsburg builaing. Tho com mittee consists of the following named well known gentlemen: A- 51. Marshall, George V. Dilwortb. Percy F. Smith and Rev. E. K. Donehoo. FOR PHILADELPHIA PUPILS. After the meeting Rev. Mr. Donehoo said: "We will begin work as soon as possible on the erection of onr building, and we hope to have it completed and ready for dedication in the falL It will be necessary to throw it open at an early date on account of the large number of pupils wanting accommodations. A great many boys and girls living in tbis vicinity have left the Philadelphia Bchool and will have no place to go t until we open up. It is probable that we will have to rent a house for their accommoda tion if we cannot get into tbe building in time. "Vve expect to put up a building that will be second to none in the country. It will cost be tween 510,000 and J50.000 and will have all the modern improvements. It will be built ot brick with stone trimmings and will be a band some ornament to the entrance of tbe park. Tbe first thing to be done is to fix np the grounds. Tbe latter will be made as attractive as possible, with walks, shade trees, fountains, etc Although the inmates will not be able to see the beauties of nature surrounding their home, tbey will be made to feel them." James B. Scott, a member of the State Board of Charities, returned yesterdav from Phila delphia where tbe board investigated the charges against the management of tbe Quaker City Blind Institute. He said abont one-fonrth of the inmates had left the institution on ac count of the treatment given them. A full re port of tho investigation will be published in a few days. A great many of the stories of cruelty, Mr. Scott said, were exaggerated. Fashionable. Clothes Should be as honest and sterling in fabric as tbey are stylish in aupearance. Such are the characteristics of the boys'and children's suits designed and made by Messrs. Iirokaw Bros., of New York. This spring's makes are unusually attractive id appearance, and the little lellows will never look better than when dressed in one of this firm's short pant suits.

William Reed, tbe colored steward wbo skipped out with t ISO of the Young Men's Re publican; Tariff Club's money, was brought back from Wheeling yesterday by Detective Shore. Reed bad been arrested at Wheeling for robbery In a hotel there. When tbo de tective entered tbe Wheeling jail he was hailed from one of the cells by another colored man from Pittsburg named Johnson. Shore recognized Johnson, and asked what he was in prison for. Johnson said for nothing, but added that Shore could not take him back to Pittsburg. Tbis was a clew to tbo detective, and by a little careful questioning he induced Johnson to tell of his assault with a razor upon another colored man on Bedford auenue two weeks ago. Tbe Wheeling authorities had no serious charge against Johnson, so the detective was allowed to handcuff him to Reed, and tbe pair were brought here together. After bis ar rival the detective learned tbat Alderman Bell wanted Johnson for feloniously cutting Charles Howard.
